Didnt get a chance to get up to the loft last night and there was no sign of dripping this morning outside However pretty sure the ball valve inlet is fine I think the problem is water coming out of the copper pipe to the left of it which i've numbered 2 in this rather crude attempt at a...

ok thanks will give that a go.

Nope haven't made any changes at all, guess you mean to bend it downwards to lower the water level before the valve cuts off?

Hi The small water tank in the loft for the hot water is overflowing. I noticed a drip outside the house from this so replaced the ball valve, however a couple of days later i noticed the dripping had resumed and checked the tank to see the ball valve submerged.... I emptied out some water and...

ahh right well guess ive primed already so just sizing to do, thanks

I'm no expert but would say you want to scrape out the discoloured sealant and redo it, it will just grow back if you paint it.

Stripped a room and the walls are in a mess underneath so have cleaned them down and given them a quick coat of emulsion so that the holes dents etc are more visible which I've now filled. I'm planning on covering the walls with a 1400 lining paper once the filler has gone off, which I'm then...

Fitting a new sink and one of the tap tails that came with it has a gauze filter fitted on the female end and the other does not, i presume the one with the filter is for cold? Just wanted clarification?

The handle on the stop cock for the washing machine has broken off in the on position so have no way of changing the washing machine other than turning off the water and the mains, is there some sort of quick fix for something like this like an easy isolation valve that can be fitted between the...

Got an issue with my washing machine, it wont complete a full cycle. What happens is if you run a wash it stops half way through and both the rinse & spin lights start flashing, i'll switch the machine off - usually overnight and restart it on the rinse cycle and it finishes ok. Does anyone...

Purchased it from the plumworld ebay site as it was a fraction of the cost of the website - trust pilot reviews seem very reliable

Ha, funny you should say that the previous owners had fitted the toilet i removed that way it was a perfect 'mortarcastle' of the underside of the toilet, took me an age to remove both the toilet and the mortar

Cheers, for the tips, A bit late but this is what i meant: The red arrow being what id expected to find.

Bought a new toilet off of ebay and its arrived however not sure how to go about fixing it to the floor, the screw holes in the base seem to go in to the base horizontally rather than down towards the floor at an angle - have i been sold a pup? Any tips on getting it firmly fixed to the floor?

I have an old aqualisa shower, it was there when we moved into the house in 2008 so is probably on its last legs. Problem is this with the shower head on the water runs cold (when turned full on hot) when you take it off the water becomes hot. Theres also another problem in that when you run...
